I'm 5'4" and about 118-119. I'm just trying to tone up a bit - but I never really work out regularly so it's a little hard.

I did run on the treadmill for 30 min this afternoon and I try to lift free weights for a little before bed each night.

Any tips for someone who is pretty apathetic about working out, doesn't have (or want) a gym membership but has access to a treadmill, exercise bike and free weights at home, and who isn't really looking to lose weight (I'd rather just gain more muscle mass and stay the same weight or lose 3-4 lbs MAX) but wants to get toned?

I just took a class on "biopsychosocial aspects of eating disorders & obesity" and i know people are more likely to stick to small lifestyle changes (walking more, small activities) as opposed to drastic changes (cutting out carbs completely, going to the gym 5x a week) etc but I'd like some advice.

**note: i have a modified diet since I have Crohn's - so I eat lots of carbs (and things easy to digest) and can't really eat high fiber foods, lettuce (salads), nuts, etc.
